With The Best of Intentions..

...comes the worst of failures. Not everytime. But a lot. Not "alot" though. Ask Allie about that. 

Anyway, so I haven't been keeping up a daily schedule with this blogging. D'oh! The problem is that I want to be witty, and funny, and awesome and I am not convinced that I can pull that off consistently, yet alone on a DAILY basis. I guess time will tell. The few people that ARE reading this could do me a favor and comment and/or subscribe to this blog. That way I know I am making a difference in a child's life. Or not. Whatevs. 

I just spent about an hour playing some Rock Band 3. I have over 500 songs (mostly via DLC) so don't ask me to name my favorite songs to play. I play expert on Guitar, Bass, Vocals and Regular keys. I can do medium/hard on Pro Keys and Drums. Go me? lol. The reason I mention this is because Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band, release downloadable songs every week for the game. They've been doing it since about 2007 and there is one song that has been glaringly ALARMINGLY absent since that time. 

Now playing: "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly

Oh yes ladies and gents, I'm talking about one of the "trippiest" stoner songs there could possibly be. A song that is so epic, heavy metal badasses Slayer covered it.

Here's part of the wikipedia entry for the song:

"A commonly related story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden" but at one point in the course of rehearsing and recording, singer Doug Ingle became intoxicated and slurred the words, creating the mondegreen that stuck as the title. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and could not clearly distinguish what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song (which was originally "In-the-Garden-of-Eden"). An alternate explanation, as given in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album, is that Ingle was drunk or high, or both, when he first told Bushy the title, and Bushy wrote it down. Bushy then showed Ingle what he had written, and the slurred title stuck."

The point is that this song would blow every other song in the game out of the water, and I DEMAND TO HAVE IT! *shakes fist at the Harmonix HQ in a menacing way in the hopes that they deliver*

In other news, my buddy Isaac had quite the epiphany on Facebook today:

LOL! Sometimes fate is just against you man, there's nothing you can do about it.
